Guest Reviews
Roy and Peter were so welcoming and friendly, we arrived with them after 3 flights and a day and a half of travel and they so kindly invited us into their house for some delicious dinner and wine. It was a wonderful start to our trip and we were so grateful! The guest house we stayed in was absolutely lovely! It was spacious and clean and had everything you could need. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in Port Elizabeth :)

Der Gastgeber ROY ist ein MUSS - sein Enthusiasmus für die Gestaltung eines wundervollen Aufenthaltes ist bemerkenswert. Seine Tipps sowohl für die Restaurants als auch die Freizeitgestaltung sind wertvoll - für den Addo Park gab es sogar Empfehlungen um welche Uhrzeit die beste für die Tierbeobachtung an bestimmten Wasserlöchern ist. Die Unterkunft ist voll ausgestattet - sogar ein Fön steht bereit - die Lage ist zentral - das Auto kann sicher geparkt werden - Nachts findet man Ruhe - die Betten sind gut - das Internet schnell - der kleine Patio eine Oase der Ruhe. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

... for being, as usual, more than kind to us during our visit. It means a lot to me that we always feel so welcome, and safe, and cared for, at Doncaster Cottages. It amazes me how you go out of your way to drive us to and fro, even though we do not expect that and would be content with taking cabs. Bless you, Roy.
Looking forward to our next visit.
With warmest regards

In allen Punkten die Bestnote und gutes Preis-Leistungsverhätnis
Es gab sehr eine herzliche Begrüßung und viele gute Tips für die Stadt. Der Besitzer hat uns am nächsten Morgen für eine erste Stadtrundfahrt zur Orientierung mit seinem Auto durch die Stadt gefahren. Danke auch für die nette Einladung zum Wein und den schönen Abend.

Ruime fijne cottage met geweldige eigenaars
De gastheren alleen maken de hele Port Elizabeth ervaring onvergetelijk. Super behulpzaam, maar buiten dat ook geweldig gezellig. De kamer was enorm, een keuken, woonkamer, patio, slaapkamer en badkamer allemaal voor ons twee samen. Hoeft ook niet gedeeld te worden met anderen gasten. Parkeren was handig en met alles was rekening gehouden. De belvedere cottages, zelfde eigenaar, zijn ook erg leuk en zelfs romantisch door de knusheid. De cottages zijn dicht bij enkele leuke restaurants en midden in de stad. Door alle tips van Roy en Peter hebben wij een fantastische rit (met braai en Boerworst) door Addo Elephant park gehad. In de korte tijd dat wij er waren ook iets van PE kunnen zien. De tips voor onze trip naar Kaapstad hebben wij ook mee genomen. Heren, bedankt! Ga door met wat jullie doen en hoe jullie het doen.

"Wonderful Host and accommodation!!!"
What can we say??? We had booked this accommodation as an overnight stay on part of our three week holiday around South Africa. We had driven 4 hours from the Natal region (after staying in Rourke's Drift) caught a flight from Durban to Port Elizabeth, picked up our hire car and then drove to Belvedere Cottages. We had previously emailed our wonderful host Roy to confirm we would be arriving at the accommodation between 7 & 8.00pm and he asked that we phone him when we were about 20 minutes away so that he could meet us in person at the property. We called Roy and arrived outside the address and as arranged Roy was there to greet us. What an absolutely charming and charismatic man he is. He showed us around his beautifully furnished apartment and gave some really great recommendations on restaurants to eat in that evening which were a stone's throw from the apartment. One of the recommendations was, Angelos, Stanley Street (where we subsequently ate. (What a great meal with really good service, just what was needed at the end of a long day!). We told Roy that the following day we were driving to Stellenbosch via the Garden and Karoo routes and Roy was an absolute font of knowledge when it came to places of interest to visit on route (Storm River Mouth, the suspension bridge , the Graff wine estate and many others including the fantastic Manouche Lebonese restaurant in Stellenbosch...we subsequently ate there...it was superb!!). We would just like to say a big thank you Roy, we had a great evening, a superbly comfortably bed and if we are ever in P.E again we will definitely be booking accommodation with you and we will be recommending your apartment to all our friends and family in the UK. Thank you once again..... Susie (Perrett) & Martin (Stachini)

The owner/manager really went out of his way to accommodate us at all times. He was always available to handle any queries. The property is very centrally positioned and within walking distance of charming coffee shops and restaurants with the most delicious food and elegant furnishings. We had a wonderful stay in Port Elizabeth.

Memory of a lifetime. Belvedere cottage is a stunning colonial home from home. We can not imagine a more beautiful place to stay with it's tranquil garden, lovely furnishings and luxury comfort. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need for you stay. The problem is having to leave. Roy, the owner, is wonderful - a absolute treasure of a man. Full of enthusiasm and tips about Port Elizabeth and he goes over and above to ensure your time in South Africa is a great experience. Cannot recommend highly enough!

"Lovely property in excellent location"
We were delighted with our choice of self-catering property in Port Elizabeth. Our host, Roy, was welcoming and informative and also gave us an excellent brunch at his Rose Garden tea house. The cottage was comfortable and well-provided, with the added bonus of a beautiful garden where we could relax after a day of exploring. There was a great bakery/cafe one block away where we enjoyed breakfasts on the terrace and a wide range of restaurants close at hand. Highly recommend if you're looking for a self-catering option in central PE.

"Our fourth stay as good as our first!"
If staying at the same venue four times in a row is not a massive vote of confidence then nothing could ever be! This time we had the use of the Mews, located right next to the Cottage and as before our stay was very, very special. Roy again met us upon arrival and by then Lizzy had made sure that everything was picture perfect and we could simply move in. The Mews has been lovingly furnished (as is the case with the Cottage) and makes a perfect bolt hole for a couple, with its spacious sitting room cum kitchen, lovely bedroom one level down and the en-suite bathroom. The Mews has its own little sun trap outside, perfect for sitting out sipping one's wine. The unit also has its own drive-in garage, allowing one to safely park the car and get out, straight into the unit itself. As before Roy was kind enought to invite us to have a breakfast at his nursery/tea garden about 20 minutes away and this time we took him up on his kind offer and what a lovely breakfast it was. Would we stay here again.......without doubt the answer simply has to be yes!

We originally booked two nights at Belvedere Cottage but enjoyed it so much we stayed another night. Our host Roy was more than helpful with great suggestions of what to see and do as well as where to eat. We followed all his advice and are having a great holiday if we could take him with us as our guide we gladly would the cottage met all our needs beautiful, clean and homely. He helped us book our next night in Port Alfred and that was great too.

I stayed at the Belvedere Mews in Richmond Hill in Port Elizabeth. Located immediately next to the Belvedere Cottage, the Mews was a beautifully decorated old, historical terrace house. With a lovely court yard, basic cooking facilities and clean bathroom, this was a lovely base to spend a few days exploring the Friendly City. My host, Roy, was incredibly responsive to questions during the booking process and my stay. He was accommodating and friendly and generous with PE tidbits and insights.

Hello Roy,
It's hard to believe tonight is our last night in this amazing cottage. We have absolutely loved every minute of time here in Port Elizabeth. This city, this cottage, and especially you have so far exceeded our hopes for our stay here that we're almost sad to leave. Of course, we are greatly looking forward to the rest of our South African adventure, but even though we've been here only a short time, we've definitely grown attached to this place, thanks in no small part to you. You're a wonderful host and an inspiring ambassador to this amazing city. Your knowledge of, and passion for the city of Port Elizabeth and its people is inspiring. For Annie and I, it is not going to be a question of "if" we will return, but rather "when"!

A gem!
Roy went beyond the call of duty by offering a whisky after I had been discharged from hospital. He also ordered a pizza for dinner. One of the most congenial hosts I have ever met. The cottage is spacious, well furnished and spotless. Good linen and a well equipped kitchen. Well situated in close proximity of St. Georges hospital. Will never consider a hotel room in Port Elizabeth again if either of Doncaster or Belvedere Cottages were available.

Warm welcome from Roy who took us on a orientation tour. Quite unexpected but much appreciated great local restaurant cafe area just 5 mins walk away.

We stayed here recently for a couple of nights whilst in PE. The property is set in the old town, parts of which are being thriving areas again. The cottage we had (#15) was very comfortable, with a lounge/kitchen, bedroom, en suite and a pretty private courtyard. Also an attached garage. Just a few minutes walk away is a delightful collection of restaurants and cafés, serving meals throughout the day.
The owner, Roy, is the star of the show though! After meeting us and checking us in, he advised on the local area and then drove us round the city for an impromptu tour. He was born and bred in the PE area and lived in the city for many years. He is very enthusiastic and knowledgable about his city and it was a pleasure spending time with him.

One is spoilt for choice when looking for accommodation in Port Elizabeth but luckily for us we chose to stay at Doncaster Cottage. What a great find. The cottage is beautifully furnished and very comfortable with everything you could possibly need. There is also secure off street parking. Roy is the perfect host and made us feel so welcome. He went out of his way to show us where the best restaurants and shops in the area are. We will definitely be back and will recommend to all our family and friends. Thank you Roy

"Delightful accommodation in good location for our needs"
Belvedere Cottage is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. our accommodation consisted of 2 bedrooms.( 1 bed accommodation is also available we did not see those cottages). One bedroom was en suite and the other had its own bathroom with access to a very pretty and private garden. There is also a living room and well equipped kitchen/diner for self catering purposes. For the time we were there it seems like a home from home. The value was excellent for the two of us but 4 can easily be accommodated.
The location is close to several good restaurants all within very easy walking distance. The e]area was safe and quiet . The cottage was also within walking distance of old PE sites such as the Donkin trail but otherwise a car or taxi is needed to get to the beach or further afield.
Roy was a very helpful host and gave us an unexpected but interesting tour around PE, a city he clearly loves.
I would recommend Belvedere to asnyone staying in PE - much better than an impersonal hotel.

Belvedere cottage is a real gem. Beautifully appointed, many special touches, a tranquil garden to have your morning coffee. Just minutes to walk to a variety of wonderful restaurants. We exported Port Elizabeth after getting the "lay of the land" touring by car with our charming and knowledgable host. His love for this place is palpable. We came home to a spotless space and my clothes had been ironed! Don't miss this one if you are visiting PE.

Perfectly Situated!
Not only is Doncaster Cottage perfectly situated for sightseeing around Port Elizabeth, it's a lovely building with careful attention to decor. We booked both Doncaster Mews and Doncaster Cottage. The cottage is a very spacious one bedroom unit and we had access to a patio that connected us to our friends who stayed in the Mews, a comfortable studio unit. But the best part of the stay was the staff. They were warm, friendly, and created a family atmosphere. Nothing was a problem and we were surprised with a complimentary tour of the historic centre of the city. This level of hospitality must be acknowledge as it is very rare these days. We will recommend them to all our friends.

Amar Singh's secretary kidnapped me: BSP activistSeptember 25th, 2008 - 9:22 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Sep 25 (IANS) Hashmat Ali, who was taken into custody Thursday from Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh's house for allegedly trying to blackmail him, told the police in a written complaint that he was kidnapped and taken to Singh's house.Ali, in his complaint to Delhi Police's Crime Branch, said Singh's secretary Tarun and one other person kidnapped him in the morning while he was standing at a tobacco shop in south Delhi's Khan market.
He said they took him in a car to Singh's residence. After some time, the station house officer of the Tughlaq Road police station detained him from the house. He was later handed over to Crime Branch sleuths.
A senior Crime Branch officer, pleading anonymity, told IANS that Ali has given them such a complaint.
"We are also looking into allegations made by Ali. Complaint made by Amar Singh's secretary is also under examination. We would only register a case if we find any of the allegations to be true," the officer said.
The police officer said it was very unlikely that they would register any case against Ali.
"The written complaint forwarded to us nowhere states that Ali was demanding Rs.500 million from Amar Singh. Technically speaking there is no case in it," the officer explained.
Singh alleged Ali was blackmailing him. He claimed that Ali came to his residence Thursday morning demanding Rs.500 million to make a statement in his favour before the privileges committee of parliament probing the cash-for-vote scam.
The police said, Ali was likely to be let off later in the evening and would be asked to join investigations Friday.

The martyr Layla Qassim was born in 12/27/1952 on the outskirts of the city of Khanaqin in which there was Alwind refinery, descending from a modest Kurdish family. She had got three brothers and one sister whose name was Sabeeha. Her father was a worker in the oil refinery in Khanaqin. He brought up his children to love their homeland, like all patriots who made love of their homeland and the high principles and values as only their fortune in life. Thus the struggler Layla Qassim lived and grew up in an atmosphere of love and passion and affection by her family, and she was raised on the principles of patriotism and faith in people and homeland which have been strengthened by them.
When the security authorities of the buried regime hauled her and placed her in solitary confinement, they had practiced the ugliest forms of torture to extract confessions from her, but she rejected strongly to the extent that her executioners were amazed. Then they asked her a question: Which is the dearest for her ,her eyes or Kurdistan? She stood proudly and with high confidence and said : Kurdistan is more precious than my eyes and my soul, then stepped up the gallows without fear or remorse with four of her heroes comrades . She addressed the security men then:" I am a struggler for the legitimate cause which is the Kurdish issue, and I will sacrifice myself for it ."

Foreign Students Seen Cheating More Than Domestic Ones
Public universities in the U.S. recorded 5.1 reports of alleged cheating for every 100 international students, versus one report per 100 domestic students, in a Wall Street Journal analysis
At Ohio State University, a Chinese student took tests for Chinese classmates for cash last year, guaranteeing an A.
At the University of California, Irvine, some international students used a lost-ID-card ruse to let impersonators take exams in place of others.
At the University of Arizona, a professor told of Chinese students handing in multiple copies of the same incorrect test answers.
A flood of foreign undergraduates on America's campuses is improving the financial health of universities. It also sometimes clashes with a fundamental value of U.S. scholarship: academic integrity.
A Wall Street Journal analysis of data from more than a dozen large U.S. public universities found that in the 2014-15 school year, the schools recorded 5.1 reports of alleged cheating for every 100 international students. They recorded one such report per 100 domestic students.
Students from China were singled out by many faculty members interviewed. "Cheating among Chinese students, especially those with poor language skills, is a huge problem," said Beth Mitchneck, a University of Arizona professor of geography and development.
In the academic year just ending, 586,208 international undergraduate students attended U.S. colleges and universities, according to the Department of Homeland Security. More than 165,000 were from China. South Korea and Saudi Arabia were the source of nearly 50,000 each and India of about 23,500.
Faculty and domestic students interviewed said it appears that substantial numbers of international students either don't comprehend or don't accept U.S. standards of academic integrity.
At the University of Arizona, the staff works hard to explain academic integrity to those from abroad, but "our students don't always understand what plagiarism is," said Chrissy Lieberman, associate dean of students.
Citing the Freedom of Information Act, the Journal asked 50 public universities with large foreign enrollments how many reports of alleged academic-integrity violations they recorded for international undergraduates and how many involving U.S. undergraduates.
Many of the schools said they didn't have such information or it would be too onerous to track down. Fourteen provided the full records sought, for the 2014-15 academic year.
At nearly all that provided data, the rate of such cheating reports was at least twice as high for foreign as for domestic students, ranging up to over eight times as high.
Universities don't all define and track cheating reports exactly the same way. Most record the number of incidents, but some record the number of students involved. The Journal's analysis tabulated cheating reports as the universities defined them. It didn't delve into how the cases were resolved.
Lanqing Wang, a Georgia Institute of Technology electrical-engineering student from Shanghai, who is distressed by the cheating he sees, said, "In China, it's OK to cheat as long as you're not caught."
Paidi Shi, vice president of the Chinese Students and Scholars Association at the University of California, San Diego, disagreed that it was all right to cheat in her home country but said, "In China, our culture puts a lot of pressure on students. We are more likely to find a shortcut to get a good grade."
Qingwen Fan, president of the Chinese Students and Scholars Association at the University of California, Davis, said some students in China get burned out by cramming in high school, and when they get to college "they want to enjoy life. They are busy with social stuff and everything they missed before. They start to cheat. They didn't put in the time but they want to pass the test. That is kind of a cultural thing."
Ms. Shi said her association plans to launch a social-media campaign to tackle the problem next fall.
Both private and public U.S. universities have welcomed a surge in foreign students, who often pay two to three times the tuition and fees of others, partly because of special programs for them. At many public universities, their payments help compensate for shrinking state subsidies.
Sanctions for cheating can range from an F on an assignment to suspension or expulsion. At the University of Arizona, which recorded over 11 reports of alleged cheating for each 100 foreign undergraduate students in the 2014-15 school year (and 1.8 per 100 domestic undergrads), no student was expelled that year and just two suspended, according to the university.
"I can assure you that somewhere someone at the university is doing a calculus about how much tuition they would lose if they start coming down hard on students who cheat," said Ms. Mitchneck, the geography professor.
Asked about that, Lynn Nadel a leader of the faculty senate, said it is true the university's business model "is somewhat dependent on out-of-state students, and it's an acknowledged fact that we depend on them to cover our costs. But the next step, that therefore we should treat them with kid gloves, has never come before me or even been uttered in my presence."
Academic dishonesty is an issue on campus without regard to students' origins. About 60% of all students on U.S. campuses admit they cheated at least once in the last year, according to Teddi Fishman, director of the International Center for Academic Integrity, a nonprofit with offices at Clemson University. She said that level has remained steady for 23 years. Most of this cheating never leads to a formal complaint, the Journal's analysis shows.
The especially high rate of cheating reported for international students fuels faculty concerns about a cheapening of schools' diplomas. "If the integrity of the degrees they are earning is undermined, that market could also be undermined," said Ms. Fishman.
Some universities work harder than others to monitor cheating, which could affect where they stood in the Journal's analysis. UC San Diego, which had one of the higher cheating-allegation rates for international students, also has an especially robust effort to track infractions, led by Tricia Bertram Gallant, its academic-integrity director.
"We decided to admit more international students in response to a decrease in public funding without consideration of extra socialization they might need to adapt to the new academic culture," Ms. Bertram Gallant said. Schools are still "playing catch-up."
At Purdue, David Sanders, a leader of the university senate, recently had the task of reading 4,000 essays from applicants and said he found the obvious copying among Chinese students, in particular, mind-numbing.

One Chinese Student's Journey to the U.S.
- Why So Many Chinese Students Come to the U.S. (May 1, 2016)
"I can't tell you how many times I read an essay that started, 'The 20th century was the century of physics and the 21st century will be the century of life sciences.' I read that same phrase over and over and over again," he said.
Ms. Fan of the Chinese students association at UC Davis said there was a "concept difference" in how Americans and Chinese "define cheating." She said it is common for Chinese students to collaborate on assignments.
A spokesman for Purdue, Brian Zink, said the school stresses academic integrity at freshman orientation, "and we don't accept 'cultural confusion' as an excuse for dishonesty."
It is possible that cheating is more likely to be caught when a student is foreign, said Ms. Fishman of the academic integrity center. A student who can barely speak English but hands in a skillfully written English-language paper would draw attention, she noted. And instructors, once having perceived a cheating issue among foreign students, might scrutinize their work more closely.
Still, Ms. Fishman said, there is a profile of a certain kind of student more likely to cheat: a youth who faces a high-stakes test, feels unprepared for it, and believes that others are cheating anyway. A relatively high percentage of foreign students, especially those with poor language skills, fit this description, she said.
They often are targeted by entrepreneurs offering to sell custom-written research papers. Other opportunists offer the services of professional test takers.
Last year, Ohio State learned that a Chinese student had been advertising on a Chinese message board that he could guarantee an A on a test by taking it in someone's place. His price was around $500 per test, said Kim Arcoleo, associate dean for transdisciplinary scholarship.
Ohio State has so far found more than 30 Chinese students who made use of the scheme, she said, with the investigation still under way.
"The cheating isn't limited to Chinese students, but we see a disproportionate amount coming from international students," Ms. Arcoleo said.
The University of Iowa is investigating at least 30 students suspected of paying professional test takers to take online exams in their place, the school says. Some of the suspected impersonators took the online tests in China, said one person familiar with the matter. Some of the students have been sent letters explaining what offenses can result in expulsion.
One method used by stand-in test-takers was uncovered at UC Irvine. Imposters would report losing their university ID cards. The bookstore would issue new ones bearing the imposter's picture, but carrying the name of the student for whom a test was to be taken. The system was used mainly by Chinese students, faculty members said.
A spokeswoman for UC Irvine said it didn't know how many students were involved in the scheme and declined to say how they were disciplined. She said campus police have helped develop a system to thwart the ID-card trick.
Adele Barker, a professor in the Department of Russian and Slavic Studies at the University of Arizona, said frequently a cluster of four or five Chinese students sitting near one another during a test all provide the same version of a wrong answer.
The influx of Chinese students with weak English-language skills has grown "exponentially," she said. "Their comprehension is so bad the cheating is a nonevent. And I can tell you everyone is dealing with this, across disciplines, across universities."
Stacey Hancock, a statistics professor at UC Irvine, said a large portion of faculty time is spent trying to ensure academic honesty. She uses randomized seating and four different versions of a test in an effort to deter copying from someone sitting nearby.
Many professors spell out in a course syllabus what constitutes cheating, lest there be any doubt. Ms. Arcoleo of Ohio State devotes three pages of the syllabus to this.
At Georgia Tech, the honor code is emblazoned on plaques outside classrooms. Armaan Mehta, an American student there majoring in computer engineering, showed a note on one assignment stating that "you should design, implement and test your own code," and that not doing so "constitutes academic misconduct."
Despite the warning, he saw "ridiculous amounts of cheating" among Indian and Chinese students, Mr. Mehta said, sitting in Georgia Tech's futuristic Clough Commons building.
A spokesman for Georgia Tech said it works diligently to make sure students know its policies and the consequences of a violation.
Suspension or expulsion for cheating is a risk for those from abroad. Their student visas can be revoked if they aren't registered at a U.S. college.
"I have had students sobbing in my office, saying their family has done everything to get them here and pleading for mercy," said Melissa Famulari, vice chair for undergraduate education in UC San Diego's economics department.
Mr. Sanders of Purdue said confronting a cheater is "incredibly unpleasant for everyone concerned. All of the institutional incentives, at multiple levels, are against catching and prosecuting cheaters."
Expulsion can be a business opportunity for Andrew Hang Chen, a Pittsburgh-based consultant who places Chinese students in U.S. colleges. If a foreign student is in danger of losing a visa, he can assist.
His company, WholeRen Education, charges $4,000 to help a student transfer to another U.S. school. The stakes are high because experience shows if a student has to return to China, he or she likely won't ever go back to college.
"We have to act very, very quickly" to transfer the student to another U.S. college, Mr. Chen said. "When we get a call, we are counting by the hour."
Last year, he said, a Chinese student at a large public university in New York sold test answers to a classmate for $2,000. Both had to leave the school. Mr. Chen said he got both into a U.S. community college, which they attended for a year and half before being allowed to return to the large university.
Though many colleges include explanations of academic integrity in orientation for international students, the lessons often don't sink in, said Wenhua Wu, a 21-year-old Chinese economics major at the University of Pittsburgh.
Over time, Chinese students come to understand what constitutes cheating, Mr. Wu said, but many do it anyway.
"They do it for better grades," he said. "Most of them don't get caught."

This is a touchy subject, I know. I have several friends and even family members who dragged their feet or did not know their child needed help with their speech development. I have possibly lost friends for bringing up the idea of having speech evaluated or asking for speech therapy. While it makes me sad that my concern alienated me, I don't regret it.
I have been right to be concerned in every single case. It appears that many people are not aware of what "normal" speech development in babies and children looks like. Furthermore, many people are completely oblivious to "red flags" that indicate speech issues.
I am by no means an expert on the subject, my own children (thus far) have developed speech normally. However, it is an area that I have researched extensively because I know how important early detection and intervention with speech development issues is for an optimal outcome.
Below is a simple list I have compiled of some key milestones and red flags. If you have concerns your child isn't hitting near these milestones or that he or she is exhibiting any of the red flags, discuss it with your trusted healthcare provider.
Go with your instincts. Children do all develop differently, including in the area of speech development; however, a speech evaluation is completely non-invasive so there's no harm in erring on the side of caution if you have concerns.
5 Signs Your Child Should Have a Speech Evaluation:
- Your baby does not coo, babble or string together vocalizations (i.e. mamamama, dadadada) outside of crying by 9 months of age.
- Your child does not have consistent words by 18 months of age. Generally 20+ words should be in their vocabulary.
- Your child does not make simple sentences by 2 years of age. Generally 50+ words should be in their vocabulary.
- Immediate family and caregivers struggle to understand your child's speech at 2 years of age. Between ages of 2-3 years a child's vocabulary should grow well beyond what parents can easily count.
- People outside of immediate family and caregivers struggle to understand your child's speech at 3 years of age.
Additional Warning Signs:
- Disinterest in communicating.
- Regression or stagnation in speaking abilities.
- Lack of response to being spoken to or noises in their surroundings.
- Inability to speak clearly by age 3.
This list is by no means fully comprehensive. If you have concerns your child isn't hitting speech milestones or is displaying any of these warning signs, take the time to have the cause investigated.
If your concerns are valid and an issue with your child's speech development is found, it can be properly addressed. If it turns out you've been worrying for nothing, the weight of the worry will be lifted off your shoulders.
You can't go wrong getting your concerns checked out. The only mistake you can make is putting off an evaluation if your child needs help. Speech therapy is most effective when started before age 3 and most (if not all) states have programs to give all children access to speech therapy before age 3.
Do you have a child whose speech seems to be developing differently? Was this post helpful for you?
Have you had a child who needed speech therapy? What prompted you to seek an evaluation and/or speech therapy? I would love to hear about your experiences!
Until next time,

A recent change in Facebook's algorithm may affect the way people see breaking news.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced earlier this month that he wants the social media website to return to being a platform for positive interactions between friends and family. With the change, users will see more personal content on their news feeds. Zuckerberg said what is most important is that users have a more "meaningful" time on the website.
The change comes with a cost to area businesses and media organizations that are now waiting to see whether their posts get lost.
Zuckerberg said this change will cut back on items that Facebook users passively consume, namely news. According to an article from the Associated Press, under the revised regime, there will be fewer posts from brands, pages and media companies. There will be fewer videos, which Facebook considers "passive." People will likely spend less time on Facebook as a result, the company says.
For Union County, that means pages such as Union County Emergency Services, which posts information the community generally needs to know, may not be seen.
"We use (Facebook) to push out incident information," said Union County Emergency Services Manager JB Brock. "We sometimes provide educational material."
Annette Powers, senior department specialist for Union County Emergency Management, who mans the organization's Facebook content, said she utilizes the page to see what people want to know about. If there is an incident about a winter storm or a major wildfire, for example, the interaction on the page will show what people are worried about, and she will take that into consideration when she updates the posts.
"(Facebook) has evolved into a tool," Brock said.
According to an article on Pew Research Center, a media website, in August 2017, 67 percent of Americans reported they use social media to find out what's happening in the news. Two in every 10 people reported doing so often. That rose from 2016, when 62 percent reported getting their news on social media.
The changes on Facebook could shrink the social media giant's role as a major news source for many people, according to the AP article.
Brock said he has to wait and see how this change shakes out. The Emergency Services' posts generally
reach 5,000 to 10,000 people.
"That's not bad in a county of 25,000 people, and some of them don't live in the county," he said.
The Observer and area radio stations that utilize Facebook to get information like breaking news and local-interest articles out to their followers are also bracing for what may happen.
Social media has changed the way people receive the news, said Karrine Brogoitti, publisher of The Observer. The Observer publishes three days a week, so Facebook has become a valuable tool to update the community and our readers on non-publishing days. It also keeps people informed of important breaking news, she said.
"When there's something important for people to know about, our newsroom pushes the information out on The Observer's Facebook page and lagrandeobserver.com, giving us the ability to reach people more quickly," she said. "If our page is being pushed down with this new algorithm, people aren't going to see when breaking news is happening at the time that it matters most."
The pages aren't going away. Followers will have to seek out the posts they want to see or change their settings to make sure the emergency and media posts appear on their news feeds.
"(The posts) will be there, but you'll have to find it," Brock said.
To ensure you can see the emergency posts from Emergency Services and local media pages, go to their page, click "Following" at the top of the page and select "see first."
Social media isn't the only way to receive emergency information, Brock added. He listed the Emergency Notification System, which distributes multimodal messages for those who sign up to receive them. The notification system is something users can sign up for on the Union County Emergency Services website. There's also the Integrated Public Alert Warning System, a program utilized by local emergency services that reaches out to the cellphones in the area under law enforcement's control.
The change in Facebook's algorithm comes after a tough year for the company, which included congressional hearings on how Russia used Facebook to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Former executives and Facebook investors have spoken out about how social media sites might be hurting rather than helping society.
"Facebook has a lot of work to do — whether it's protecting our community from abuse and hate, defending against interference by nation states, or making sure that time spent on Facebook is time well spent," Zuckerberg wrote.
Tweaking users' feeds may cause the social media platform to lose some of its luster for content producers or media companies, as they face losing access to Facebook's more than two billion users. Currently, there are 1.15 billion mobile daily active users. That number could decrease after the recent changes. According to an article on The New York Times website, Zuckerberg expects to lose users, but said "if people end up feeling better about using the social network, the business will ultimately benefit."
The article emphasized that Facebook wants people to feel positive, rather than negative, after visiting.
David Ginsberg, director of research at Facebook, is quoted as saying, "When people are engaging with people they're close to, it's more meaningful, more fulfilling. It's good for your well-being."

The Vampire Stalker by Allison van Diepen
Published: June 2011
Publisher: Point
Genre: YA
The Story: What if the characters in a vampire novel left their world--and came into yours?
Amy is in love with someone who doesn't exist: Alexander Banks, the dashing hero in a popular series of vampire novels. Then one night, Amy meets a boy who bears an eerie resemblance to Alexander. In fact, he IS Alexander, who has escaped from the pages of the book and is in hot pursuit of a wicked vampire named Vigo. Together, Amy and Alexander set out to track Vigo and learn how and why Alexander crossed over. But when she and Alexander begin to fall for each other, Amy wonders if she even wants him to ever return to the realm of fiction.
My Review: WOW! I LOVED this book! I know that after reading the Twilight Series, I seriously wished some of those characters would come to life. And after reading The Vampire Stalker, I wouldn't mind Alexander Banks coming to life! ;) I don't know if there is a person out there who loves to read, that has never hoped or wished their favorite character would come to life. Allison has given us some insight as to what that could possibly mean! Or do for our life. Can you just imagine?! It took Amy a while to believe it actaully happened, and I don't blame her, I don't think I'd believe it either.

About Parksville
Parksville is a small, unincorporated community on the Chaplin River in southcentral Boyle County. It is located near the geographic center of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, at the eastern end of KY 300 where it intersects with KY 34 (Lebanon Road). The global position of Parksville is 37.597N latitude and -84.891W longitude. Elevation is 1,083 feet (330 m) above sea level. The current population is approximately 900 people.
Chapter 1916 of the Laws of Kentucky (1867) says, in part: "AN ACT to incorporate the Town of Parksville, in Boyle County. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky: 1. That the town, in the county of Boyle, situated on the Clark's Run and Salt River turnpike and the Lebanon extension of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, known as Parksville, be, and the same is hereby, incorporated and established as the town of Parksville. . . . 10. The limits of said town shall extend one quarter of a mile in every direction from the center thereof at the crossroads at W. D. Latimer's storehouse." In 1880 (Laws of Kentucky, Chapter 617), the boundary was modified so as to include the cemetery and the Christian church, "the line to run north and south with the [sic] on the east side of said cemetery." When the Town of Parksville was unincorporated is not known, but today Parksville is an unincorporated village.
Parksville was founded by James Parks, who is buried in the Parksville Cemetery.
Parksville had a major depot on the east-west corridor of the Louisville & Nashville (L&N) Railroad from 1866 until 1970. Passengers would travel 10 miles (16 km) from Danville to board an L&N passenger train. Freight was also shipped from this depot. A small lake, known as the Tank Pond, was built in 1920 by the railroad southwest of Parksville for the purpose of refilling steam locomotive engines. In October 1987, the L&N discontinued use of the track through Parksville, which has since been removed.
Parksville High School operated from about 1926 until 1963, when Boyle County consolidated its rural high schools to create Boyle County High School. The original Parksville high school building is now a private home, located less than a mile west of the U.S. Post Office on KY 34.
Today, Parksville retains a post office (zip code 40464); Parksville Baptist Church (founded in 1923); Parksville Church of Christ; several small commercial enterprises, including the popular Connie's Restaurant & Deli (8444 Lebanon Road); and Engine Company #3 of the Boyle County Fire Department. In addition, the Parksville Water District serves a large portion of western and southern Boyle County as well as northern parts of Casey County.
Nearby is the Stone Bridge at Chaplin Creek (ca. 1910), listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 500-acre Central Kentucky Wildlife Refuge lies 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Parksville, just off KY 37, near the Forkland community.

Microsoft no longer offers free technical support for Windows XP
Publicado por Admin en 10:17 AM
Microsoft no longer offers free technical support for Windows XP Home Edition and Office 2003 users. Only the security updates will be distributed. This will affect companies that still sell computers with this operating system installed and, of course, to all users of this operating system.
I never used this service from Microsoft. When I have a problem with my operating system I look for information around the Internet.

"Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live." — Gianni Versace
I thought Versace's quote is very appropriate since NYFW began yesterday. It's a bit ironic: Fashion is an industry that thrives off of consumers playing into trends, yet an iconic fashion designer is stating to simply be you. Don't dress how the industry is telling you to dress that season—dress however you want! Dress for how you feel, how you want others to perceive you, and however you feel best. Be true to yourself, not true to what is on the racks. You will feel much better both about yourself and about your bank account

Monday, our last full day in Newfoundland, we drove to St John's from Port Blandford. On the way, we decided to go to Salmonier Nature Park and Cataracts Provincial Park.
At Salmonier, animals are shown in their natural habitat. We heard very good thngs about it. Cataracts was fairly close and was described in our guidebook:
A deep river gorge with two cascading waterfalls provide a scenic setting for photographs. Stairs and walkways enable the visitor to descend the gorge and cross the river. Thirty-five percent of the known mosses and liverworts in Newfoundland have been identified in this park. Picnic sites and pit toilets are available for day users.
Sounds great, right? The only problem was the directions. We found "The park is located on the Avalon Peninsula south east of Placentia" and "the park is 25 km southwest of Salmonier" and "the park is 5 km west of Cloinet on route 91."
Every other park we've visited (and ones we haven't!) has been well-signed from the roads (TCH 1 and all of the routes). So I put rte 91 in Colinet in our GPS, followed the signs to 91 and drove along on my way.
Except we never saw a single sign for Cataracts. Salmonier, Witless Bay, Avalon Reserve? Sure. Cataracts? Nope.
I checked recreation: parks/gardens in my GPS and they had Cataracts listed, so I plugged it in.
And we drove. And drove. And found ourselves on yet another gravelly under-construction road.
"I don't think this is it," Good Man said, looking around.
I figured it didn't matter. We'd see some sort of a sign. We always had before.
We passed several bridges. I wanted to stop and take photos, but Good Man wanted to find the park first.
When we got to the park's location per GPS? Nothing. It was grass and trees and gravel. And over a 10-15 km stretch, about three houses. We drove a few km past the park point per GPS and finally turned around, deciding to give up and go to Salmonier.
I stopped at the bridge I'd wanted to take photos of and found!
Waterfall at Cataracts?
I poked around some more. Hey, that looks like a walkway over the gorge!
Walkway at Cataracts?
I went and got Good Man, "I think this is the park."
Good Man looked around, "I do not see sign, this is not park." He was right about the signs. If you're looking for Cataracts, you won't find signs. Of any sort. Anywhere. Good luck realizing this is a park when you're actually driving. (As a side, if anyone is looking for the park, the GPS coordinates are 47.242406,-53.63156.)
No Sign
No Sign
We spent just a few minutes doing the walkway path. The views were nice, the park was deserted. When we were done, Good Man vetoed Salmonier. "It was too hard to find this place. That is our sign to skip Salmonier!"
Cataracts Park
Cataracts Park
I let Good Man have his way. We headed back to St John's and relaxed for the evening, before heading home Tuesday morning.

Vaccines are a multi faceted weapon ... many many different agents toxins and live diseases can be in them...
But one of their favorite tricks is to give you the very thing they say the vaccine is to protect against ... this way if anyone ever did call the vacine makers to explain , they have plausible deniability ..."oh..one batch wasn't completely sterilised "
This is very common in the US with the flue ...big money every year ...millions of idiots get vaccinated to protect themselves from the "seasonal flue" which comes round every winter .... but even the fools who take these shots are finally figuring out it's the shot which gives them the flue...
"It's a common belief that getting a flu shot can give you the flu. A survey by CVS Pharmacy found that about 35% of consumers think it's true..."
It's a win win for big pharma , they charge the suckers for the flue shot , then make more money selling them "flue remedies" through drug stores..
In the third world they they think they can get away with anythingl ... disabling thousands of children giving them live polio vaccine ... gates is a pioneer of this
"A mutated strain of Polio has made its way to Europe – as medical authorities admit that the Polio vaccine program led by Bill Gates had ended up creating a more deadly strain of the disease.
In 2011 Doctors in India reported that young children were being crippled in huge numbers after receiving the oral polio vaccine – with 47,000 children crippled and permanently disabled as a direct result of the vaccine...."

There are many studies showing that the viruses are spread by the vaccines.
The usual reply by ignorant doctors is that the diseased person must have already got the disease before the shot was given and gullible people believe it without question.
Warnings are given on package inserts that those receiving polio toxin must not go near people with immunity problems, eg, cancer patients, as the virus is a live virus and they are contagious for up to 4 weeks. This proves that they are spreading polio, and anyone can catch it if they are not in a good state of health.

CDC is concerned about AFM, a serious illness that we do not know the cause of or how to prevent it.
CDC is investigating the increase in AFM in 2016. As of December 2016, 138 people in 37 states were confirmed to have AFM.
So far in 2017, CDC has received information for five confirmed cases of AFM.
Even with an increase in cases in 2016, AFM remains a very rare disease (less than one in a million).
CDC is concerned about the increase in cases in 2016.
CDC is intensifying efforts to understand the cause and risk factors of AFM.
It's always important to practice general disease prevention steps, like washing your hands, staying up-to-date on vaccines, and protecting yourself from mosquito bites."
*note - my emphasis.
seems they're attacking kids in the Americas with Zika (unborn) and now this! No known cure, ultra rare, exceedingly contagious.... Agenda 21.

this is classic problem reaction solution BTW
problem = cause spread of polio through injecting virus into potentially malnourished and unsanitary population
reaction = they get polio
solution = more vaccines because they problem was they hadn't had enough vaccinations to be protected from the first ones
In their own words too.

In this year I've read a lot of stories about vaccines.
Some of the worst are about polio vaccines.
Member of Bilderberg Melinda Gates, wife of the so-called "richest man in the world", is a real philanthropist and founded the "Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation", that is trying to get "wild polio" out of this world.
Apparently it is really bad when (only) several hundreds of children die of "wild polio", so ten thousands of children in India get paralysed by Non-Polio Acute Flaccid Paralysis (NPAFP), caused by the vaccine: http://humansarefree.com/2016/05/bil...am-caused.html
It isn't fair to accuse the Gates Foundation alone (and Gate's PATH and GAVI), because it is a joint effort with the World Health Organization (WHO).
India was declared free of the wild polio virus by the WHO in January 2011 however there has been a huge increase in cases of NPAFP.
In 2004, 12,000 cases of NPAFP were reported which increased to to 25,000 in 2005, 40,000 in 2007, 61,000 in 2011, and 53,563 cases by 2012.
Government surveillance data show that India has become the nation with the world's highest rate of NPAFP incidence. In the 13 months before December 2015, India has reported 53,563 cases of NPAFP at a national rate of 12 per 100,000 children: http://www.oye.news/news/health/indi...-dramatically/
The best source I've found on this black page in history are Neetu Vashisht and Jacob Puliyel of the Department of Pediatrics at St. Stephens Hospital in Delhi.
Neetu Vashisht et al – "Polio programme: let us declare victory and move on" (2012): http://www.whale.to/v/polioaccuteflacid.pdf
Neetu Vashisht et al – "Trends in Nonpolio Acute Flaccid Paralysis Incidence in India 2000 to 2013" (2015): http://www.ineip.org/content/abstrac...-acute-flaccid
This wasn't the first time that vaccination campaigns with polio caused controversy.
Kihura Nkuba was told by a preacher that when the the WHO and UNICEF introduced the National Immunization Days in 1997, most of the children died after vaccination. After Nkuba discussed the adverse effects of Oral Polio Vaccination (OPV) on his radio shows, revolts broke out in the streets. Then the army was used to vaccinate children with polio.
In 1977, the month following polio vaccination, at the main hospital in Mbarara more than 600 children had died.
Nkuba became something of an investigative reporter after being accused of making ill-founded claims. He read that they stopped poisoning children in North America with Sabin OPV in 1996 because, it caused polio. When he was over in the USA, he called the CDC:
In Africa polio doesn't kill anybody and is very rare to catch, and even rarer to get paralysed by polio. Every 5 seconds a child is dying of malaria in Africa. Why doesn't Africa get life-saving anti-malaria treatment?
Nkuba reported he had a terrible car crash, when two pick-up trucks forced him off the road: http://www.whale.to/a/nkuba.htm

Pesticides and false labelling
I'm beginning to think that the polio and AIDS "epidemics" are more similar than most people think.
From the data I've read it looks like either: 1) pesticides is a cause of immune deficiency which makes that people aren't able to cope with the polio virus anymore, 2) pesticides causes polio like symptoms including paralysis.
Labelling paralysis first as "polio" and then – after introduction of the vaccine – as "Acute Flaccid Paralysis". The following graph shows that the number of paralysis cases hasn't only risen in India, as a result of the massive polio vaccination campaign, but also in the rest of the world, from something like 17,000 in 1996, to 100,000 in 2010. Thanks to the World Health Organisation, UNICEF and the Gates Foundation.
In 1956 the American Medical Association (AMA) instructed each licensed medical doctor that they could no longer classify polio, as vaccines had eradicated polio, or their license to practice would be terminated. Any paralysis was now to be diagnosed as AFP (acute flaccid paralysis) MS, MD, Bell's Palsy, cerebral palsy, ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), Guillian-Barre, etc.
In 1942, the epidemic of the first half of the century subsided, and there were fewer than 5,000 cases of polio in the United States. Around 1948, the number of polio cases began to soar. Polio reached a peak in 1949, with nearly 43,000 cases. By 1951 the number had dropped to below 28,000. Following a government-subsidised study of polio vaccine, the number soared to an all-time high of more than 55,000 cases.
Most diagnoses were based upon clinical observation, not sophisticated virological studies. After introduction of the vaccine, the number of polio cases decreased, while the number of meningitis cases increased. Most cases reported as non-paralytic poliomyelitis prior to 1 July 1958 were after that reported as viral or aseptic meningitis.
According to Jonas Salk, the live virus polio vaccine developed by Dr. Albert Sabin was:
Since 1940, pesticides were introduced in Europe and North America.
See what looks like correlation between the amount of insecticides and polio cases from 1912 to 1963 in England and Wales.
Mortin S. Biskind was one of the first to see the pesticides as the cause of the polio "epidemic":

I've read some general information on polio; the official story appears to contradict itself.
When most people think about the horrors of polio, they think that it's some horrible infectious disease that causes paralysis. In reality, according to the official numbers only 0.5% of the infected suffer from paralysis. Polio can be classed in 4 severities:
1 – In more than 90% of the cases, the polio infection causes antibodies to develop, without symptoms, and the person doesn't even know that infection occurred.
2 - The majority of the remaining less than 10%, suffer some flu-like symptoms: fever, digestive upset and possibly a cough. This infection has no lasting effects, except immunity.
3 – For a small percentage, polio reaches its "second stage, and reaches the Central Nervous System (CNS), these patients get seriously ill, but don't suffer any permanent damage.
4 - For about 1 in 200 who are exposed, that polio reaches the CNS and paralyses enough motor neurons that control anywhere from one limb to the whole spinal cord. If the infection reaches motor neurons that are high in the spinal cord or in the brain, death is the likely result.
When you read this, you must conclude that:
1) It's impossible to know (or even estimate) how many people are infected by polio, as more than 95% doesn't suffer from a major illness and don't go to the doctor.
2) Because only a small percentage of the polio patients get paralysed (or even die), it's almost impossible to know for sure that this was the result of the polio, as it's impossible to rule out other causes. I can only imagine some horrible experiments, in which this could be determined. Determining that this percentage is 1 in 200 is completely impossible...
Because there's no way to determine how many people are infected with polio, the number of polio cases is founded on fantasy. Furthermore the number of polio cases doesn't even matter, as most people that are infected by it, don't suffer anything grave.
This means that the only reasonable way to estimate how bad the polio "epidemic" is, is by the number of Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) cases. By general consensus the amount of AFP cases has increased enormously.
By general consensus the polio virus had been active for hundreds of years. And until the beginning of the twentieth century never caused any "epidemics" or great calamities.
The first serious polio outbreak happened in 1916, "coincidentally" in New York, with over 27,000 known cases and over 6,000 deaths. By multiplying 6,000 by 200 (in reality according to the official statistrics, I should multiply this by even more...) this means that at least 1,200,000 people were infected with polio. This is completely ridiculous, and in a complete disregard with the "official" statistics, a maximum of 120,000 infected is named.
By general consensus, polio is easier transmitted with poor hygiene, and it is claimed that sanitation level improved in the 20th century (at least in the developed world).
This raises the contradiction that in the hundreds of years before 1916, polio would have been worse...
This means that polio's doesn't comply with Farr's Law; big pharma invented a unique argument (which almost per definition means it's bad science). I'll try to explain this bizarre hypothesis as well as I can.
Supposedly when a baby is born in a "dirty" environment, it gets polio antibodies from its mother (who must have been exposed to polio). Then the baby gets infected within a couple of months after birth, and is still "protected", and then becomes immune for polio, without anyone noticing that the baby was infected...
With better hygiene, either the mother was never infected (so cannot pass the antibodies to the baby) or the baby doesn't get infected in the first months (when it still has the antibodies of the mother).
According to this bizarre hypothesis (which is the official explanation), with better hygiene (in particular) the number people infected with polio comes down, which means that this would be the only way to eradicate polio (never mind nutrition, which isn't part of the agenda of our health care officials). But then because relatively more people get infected, when they don't have the inherited protection from the mother, the consequences of polio or more grave (including more AFP cases that are caused by polio).
Just by looking at the rising number of paralysis cases, we can see that something is wrong in the state propaganda they want us to believe. It's more probable of course that paralysis isn't caused by polio, but by something else (like for example pesticides)...
After Mortind Biskind, in April 1949, published his study on neuropsychiatric manifestations of DDT, he was attacked with blatantly false data.
On 25 April 1955, the polio vaccination program encountered disaster when "faulty" vaccines manufactured by the Cutter Laboratory in California were discovered. The incidence rate was 17 per 100,000 for one month.
In 1958, incidence rates of over 400 per 100,000 per month were found in Detroit with the polio vaccines, which was swept under the carpet.
Alexander Langmuir lobbied Congress, to give the CDC contingent powers to deal with potential emergencies. In July 1951, he assembled the first class of the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS). New EIS officers were first assigned for 2 years to hospitals or state and local health departments in the US. Upon completing their field experience, EIS alumni – as agents for the CDC – infiltrated the medical community.
According to British epidemiologist Gordon Stewart, a former CDC consultant, the EIS was nicknamed the "medical CIA": http://www.wellwithin1.com/pol_all.htm
In 1928, the German born Henry Kumm joined the Rockefeller Foundation for Medical Research.
In 1951, Kumm resigned from the Rockefeller Foundation to a position as assistant director of research at the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. He conducted field trials in the study of gamma globulin and the Salk vaccine and became the Director Of Polio Research at NFIP in 1954.
After his wonderful work on polio, Kumm rejoined the Rockefeller Foundation in 1959: http://www.medicalarchives.jhmi.edu/papers/kumm.html
During 1933-1937, there were a total of 37,463 poliomyelitis cases in total (4,930 deaths).
From 1938-1942 31,993 cases in total (4,165 deaths).
In 1943 12,449 cases (1,115 deaths).
In 1944, 19,029 cases (1,433 deaths).
In 1945, 13,619 cases (1,189 deaths).
Despite the declining cases of polio in the US, in 1946, President Harry S. Truman declared the "War on polio" (where have I heard the "War on ..." before?).
In some sick experiments DDT was sprayed on cities to fight polio. For example on 27 August 1945, a bomber spayed Rockford, IL with DDT and in 1946, a massive amount of DDT was sprayed in San Antonio, TX. The results of these "experiments" were never released.
In a great effort to replicate these wonderful experiments. This month, the area of Houston has been sprayed with pesticides under the guise of fighting an outbreak of the magical Zika virus that was discovered in 1947 and then in 2015 suddenly started causing microcephaly: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...chemicals.html
In 1946, the number of reported polio cases hit 25,191 — nearly twice the number of 1945.
In 1947, the cases dropped to 10,737 (580 deaths).
In 1948, a huge increase to 27,680 (2,140 deaths).
During 1949-1951, the number of polio cases remained high with a total of 103,719 (an annual average of 34,573).
In 1951, DDT fumigation in the US was at a peak.
In 1952, the number of polio cases peaked at 52,879.
And then began to decline (before polio vaccination was introduced) to 35,592 in 1953, 38,476 in 1954 and 28,985 in 1955: http://www.thevaccinereaction.org/20...fall-of-polio/
After introduction of the polio vaccine in the USA, the number of polio cases actually increased. Obviously some doctors didn't understand that they had to report these cases differently after the vaccine had been introduced...
Vermont reported 15 cases of polio during the one-year report before 30 August 1954 (before mass vaccination), compared to 55 cases of polio in the following year (a 266% increase).
Rhode Island reported 22 cases before as compared to 122 cases after vaccination (a 454% increase).
Massachusetts went from 273 to 2027 polio cases (a 642% increase).
In New Hampshire the figures increased from 38 to 129; in Connecticut from 144 to 276;
During the 1950s, doctors and scientists on the staff of the NIH knew that the Salk vaccine caused polio and refused to vaccinate their own children. Some health departments banned the vaccination.
The Idaho State Health Director declared: "I hold the Salk vaccine and its manufacturers responsible" for the polio outbreak that killed several and hospitalized dozens more.
In the mid-1990s, during a period of less than 5 year, 13,641 adverse reactions to the oral polio vaccine were reported: http://vaxtruth.org/2012/03/the-polio-vaccine-part-2-2/
See the following correspondence "Non-Polio AFP Rate and Polio Eradication" (2008): http://medind.nic.in/ibv/t08/i5/ibvt08i5p422.pdf
On the following site the official numbers of AFP cases can be seen from 2000 to 2016, globally the numbers went from: 30,625 in 2000 to 109,807 in 2016 (an increase of 259% in 16 years).
Africa from 5,936 to 31,922 in 2016 (an increase of 438% in 16 years).
East Mediterranean from 3,253 to 11,357 in 2016 (an increase of 249% in 16 years).
South East Asia from 10,758 to 25,790 (an increase of 140% in 16 years).
India from 8,103 in 2000 to 46,579 in 2016 (an increase of 475% in 16 years): https://extranet.who.int/polis/public/CaseCount.aspx
Also see the number of polio cases in the Dominican Republic from 1978 to 1987. When the OPV vaccine was introduced in 1983, there were hardly any cases of polio. Also see the sharp low in number of cases in 1979...

Looked it up and this is a lie, that vaccine had stopped being used 17 years ago, oz.
I hope everyone that liked oz's post sees this, he shared 'fake news' which he is always saying other people do, what a hypocrite.
At any rate, here is the link that shows the source of this fake rumor: https://www.truthorfiction.com/bill-...ed-47500-kids/

The number of 47,500 children paralysed comes from comparing the official standard of 2 per 100,000 children to the massive amounts of children that are actually cripled (12 in 100,000).

DDT, Dicofol, infant mortality
I'm glad Mranderson doesn't mind that I was inspired by his post to do a real investigation on the polio virus/vaccine (and sort of took over "his" thread)...
In 1972, in the US DDT was prohibited, but instead they continued to produce "dicofol" (a.k.a. Kelthane), which is really DDT in disguise.
K. Paul Stoller – AD, AFP, ALS, and DDT (2015): http://journalijcar.org/sites/defaul...files/0151.pdf
(archived here: http://archive.is/QmJa7)
Stoller refers to a nice paper describing research by the US Army Medical Research and Development Command (with MIT) that shows that at the 20 and 40 microgram levels of DDT, the yield of polio virus per cell was increased 37 and 90%, respectively. It is reasonable to postulate that it could also increase the replication of other viruses.
Also look for Kelthane (that replaced DDT) which increases the yield of the polio virus with a whopping 430%...

(archived here: http://archive.is/b7CDg)
The following study writes about a previous study, where the Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) raised the death rate in children (only significant for boys). But this couldn't be repeated in this study.
This study in Guinea-Bissau is the only in its kind. Can anybody think of any reason for why big pharma wouldn't research that the polio vaccines causes death…
This study could be completely worthless, as it wasn't single blind (let alone double blind) and there are also admitted effects that there were other ongoing polio vaccination campaigns, for which the data was manipulated (censored); the study doesn't describe how it was "censored" (I can't remember that in the course statistics that I followed at university "censoring" was mentioned...).

Yeah sure an "independent" study by the eugenics WHO that doesn't give any reasonable explanation for the the great increase in paralysis cases in India...
So you disagree that there is a correlation?

Vitamins B1, C, Calcium, Sugar
I finally found something positive to post about polio prevention...
Generally speaking you could prevent polio paralysis, by: getting enough vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin C, Calcium and cut the intake of sugar.
There is only information on this in "scientific" papers going back to the 1950s or even before. Why would the pharmaceutical industry stop the research into prevention of paralysis by other methods than vaccines that cause more harm than they do good?
It's not sure however that what worked, also has beneficial effects with all of the pesticides used today, some even worse than DDT.
McCormick's report from 1938 shows that vitamin B deficiency possibly increases the susceptibility for polio, and that Adrenalin, Cortin and Vitamin C destroy the polio virus. It is a pretty good literature review.
W. J. MCCORMICK – POLIOMYELITIS: VITAMIN B DEFICIENCY A POSSIBLE FACTOR IN SUSCEPTIBILITY (1938): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/art...00190-0052.pdf
McCormick references an earlier paper by Jungeblut.
I have found 2 of his papers documenting research on the effects of vitamin C in monkeys infected with polio. The results appear to indicate that vitamin C has positive effects in fighting polio.
CLAUS W. JUNGEBLUT – VITAMIN C THERAPY AND PROPHYLAXIS IN EXPERIMENTAL POLIOMYELITIS (1936): http://jem.rupress.org/content/jem/65/1/127.full.pdf
CLAUS W, JUNGEBLUT - A FURTHER CONTRIBUTION TO VITAMIN C THERAPY IN EXPERIMENTAL POLIOMYELITIS (1939): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/art...10/pdf/315.pdf
Knowing this, the pharmaceutical industry can easily manipulate a "scientific" trial to "prove" that vitamin C is useless for a polio therapy…
Fred R. Klenner was a doctor who experimented with vitamin C treatment for polio and other viral diseases, but unfortunately from a "scientific" point of view his work is worthless.
Here's one of his papers from 1949, where he claims that vitamin C cured all of his polio patients in a couple of days: https://www.vitamincfoundation.org/w....com/polio.htm
Klenner's paper from 1951 is better. The problem is that Klenner apparently developed a therapy for his patients, but without a control (placebo) group this is "scientifically" worthless: http://www.seanet.com/~alexs/ascorba...03-n4-p101.htm
Jonas Salk is known for creating the first polio vaccine; coincidentally it was the same Salk who was involved with the cover-up of the research of Claus Jungeblut.
On 18 September 1939, Time magazine reported that Jungeblut, showed the correlation between vitamin C deficiency and polio.
Within 2 years after the discovery of vitamin C (a.k.a. ascorbic acid), Jungeblut showed that ascorbic acid could inactivate the polio virus.
In 1936-1937, there was a rapid succession of medical scientists, who showed that vitamin C inactivated a variety of viruses: Holden et al (herpes); Kligler and Bernkopf (vaccina virus); Lagenbusch and Enderling (hoof-and-mouth disease); Amato (rabies); Lominski (bacteriophage); and Lojkin and Martin (tobacco mosaic disease).
Thus, already in the 1930s it was known that vitamin C was potentially a wide-spectrum antiviral agent.
It was none other than Dr. Albert B. Sabin, who in 1939 published a paper that demonstrated that vitamin C had no value in combating polio viruses. His 1939 paper showed that vitamin C had no effect in preventing paralysis in rhesus monkeys infected with polio.
Klenner said that there was a simple reason for Sabin's well-reported failures: the dosage was far too low: http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v09n16.shtml

Diet prevents polio
I had read about the hypothesis that a low intake of sugar prevents polio, based on the story of Benjamin P. Sandler, who changed the diet in the town of Asheville and the surrounding places, which reduced the number of polio patients.
Sandler had a one-track mind and was focused solely on preventing a low sugar level in the blood. I don't think that Sandler should be taken too seriously, but it certainly is an interesting story.
Here's Sandler's– Diet Prevents Polio(1951): http://www.whale.to/a/sandler_b.html
(PDF version: https://www.seleneriverpress.com/ima...TS%20POLIO.PDF)
One of my problems with this paper that the information is displayed very inefficiently, blowing it up to 50 pages...
On 4 August 1948, the Asheville Times, published an article claiming that a change in diet would prevent polio (at the time, because of all the propaganda, the US population was terrified of polio). An important part of the advised diet was a reduction in sugar (which ironically, according to Sandler, prevents a low sugar level in the blood).
Store sales of sugar, candy, ice cream, cakes, soft drinks, dropped sharply and remained at low level for the rest of the summer. One southern producer of ice cream shipped one million fewer gallons of ice cream than usual. The results were impressive, see how the rise in number of polio immediately stopped after the publication.
Until 4 August 1948, Asheville had 55 cases of polio (more than in 1946 in the same period). For the rest of the year (December 31) there were only 21 new cases, 76 cases for the entire season.
I'm not sure about the plotted estimates for 1948, but the number of polio cases was certainly lower than would have been estimated starting on 4 August, as the result of the change in diet.
Strangely missing are other years. For example 1947…
According to Sandler the success of the diet was even greater in 1949, with only 5 cases. He could have presented this information much better. And why no information on 1950?
This was the published diet advice on 4 August 1948:
Maybe this diet increased the intake of vitamin B1?
What's also notable is the increase in "protein food", meat, fish and animal products. We are told that we should reduce the intake of "animal" food and go vegetarian, but from the point of view of health this is probably not so good.
Because Sandler was obsessed with preventing a low blood sugar level he even advised to limit "fresh fruits".
Sandler also advised against doing sports with a high intensity, as these cause a low sugar level.
Also interesting is the following quote from the paper, which indicates that there were more polio cases on farms, which contradicts that "polio" is caused by a virus. The farms are of course sprayed with pesticides…

The poisoned needle
I have found another interesting book on vaccines, published in 1957, so relatively short after the Salk vaccination campaign of 1955; Eleanor McBean - The Poisoned Needle (1957): http://www.whale.to/a/mcbean.html
The book isn't only about polio vaccines, but also tries to explain how the pharmaceutical industry functions as a whole. My main problem with the book is that McBean is too sure of herself, while I disagree with some of ideas on some of the other topics in the book, in particular I disagree with "fasting" for a health treatment and the section on cancer, I agree with the section on polio…
In this context I will limit myself to the part of the book about polio (vaccines) – CHAPTER X: THE HIDDEN DANGERS IN POLIO VACCINE.
In the Addendum some additional papers on polio are presented, but I don't think they add much to what's already in the book.
Polio virus doesn't cause polio
During one of the US most widespread polio epidemics in 1949, TIME Magazine commented:
Also experiments on lab animals and humans (mostly prisoners and orphans in institutions) confirmed that "polio" isn't contagious.
In an article in the Journal of Pediatrics in 1941, John Toomey wrote that:
Formaldehyde in milk has been reported as a cause of polio. The Salk vaccine also contains formaldehyde.
Doctors were able to cause polio with serum (protein poisons), but they were not able to cure or control it.
Some of the most common causes of paralysis are:
1—Carbohydrates: Sugar products and denatured products like white flour, alcoholics, etc.
2—Cola: beverages with drugs and sugar.
3—Poison sprays: on food, poison preservatives in food, etc.
4—Operations: especially removal of tonsils.
5—Fatigue: all practices that deplete the vital energy.
6—Negative emotions: that generate "internal poisons".
7—Interference: of any kind that impedes circulation or normal functioning.
Vaccine induced paralysis
In May 1926, the New York State Journal of Medicine reported post-vaccinal encephalitis in several other countries:
In 1946, in Los Angeles, after the largest smallpox vaccination campaign in the history of the city, an epidemic of polio broke out within 2 weeks after the injections and by the end of the summer there were 26 deaths and 1,900 reported cases.
In July 1950, the British Medical Journal reported 112 cases of paralysis following vaccination that were admitted to the Park Hospital.
In London during 1947-1949 following an intensive immunisation campaign, 14 were paralyzed in the same limb where they had received one or more vaccinations in the previous 2 months.
The interval between the last injection and the onset of paralysis in the majority of cases was between 9 and 14 days. The paralysis followed combined pertussis (whooping cough) and diphtheria prophylactic in 9 cases, diphtheria prophylactic alone in 4, and pertussis vaccine alone in 1 case.
Polio vaccine hazardous
Leonard A. Scheele, head of USPHS, before the Atlantic City Convention of the American Association in 1955 admitted:
Shortly after the Salk vaccination program was swung into action, on 23 June 1955 the American Public Health Service announced that there had been:
Then the deaths from the polio vaccine weren't reported anymore. See the following excerpt from a letter published in Defender Magazine:
According to the state propaganda the polio virus in only 1 in 200 cases causes paralysis, while more than 95% doesn't suffer any injuries from the polio virus (you could call that more than 95% natural protection…).
There was a big trial on polio vaccines in 1954/1955, led by Thomas Francis. Unfortunately I haven't found a good review or report on this study. If I understand correctly, this found 65% less "polio" cases in the vaccinated group compared to the placebo group.
I've read that since 1955, the polio vaccine became even less "potent" which means that the "protection" is even less than 60%...
